About this collection
Granite & Quartz Outdoor Countertops, explained.
The countertop takes the most abuse in an outdoor kitchen — heat from the grill, sun, rain and the occasional dropped platter. Granite and quartzite lead for durability; marble and soapstone bring softer character where the kitchen is covered.
Compare edge profiles and overhangs as much as colour. Save the counter-and-cladding pairings that look right together, then confirm the stone is rated for exterior use.
